Charlie faq version 1
I plan on this being a very short faq(as in about two hours), it still
should be useful, though. I WILL NOT update this one.
This faq has assumed that you atleast have a slight amount of knowledge
about this game.
This faq may freely be distributed around the gaming community as long as
it's not sold for a profit(ie. magazines)
Don't mind if someone has ads at their site, though.
THE STRATEGY GUIDE FROM VERSUS BOOKS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ALOT OF THE
INFO FROM THIS FAQ COMES FROM IT. THERE IS STILL SOME STUFF IN THE
STRATEGY GUIDE THAT I HAVEN'T COVERED AND UNLIKE THIS FAQ IT HAS STRATEGY
GUIDES FOR EVERY CHARACTOR.
This faq is available at http://www.hardcoregaming.com

Intro
Why pick Charlie
I don't know. I basically started picking him because I got sick of
Dhalsim(it's to easy with him, so I moved on). It should be known that IMO
Charlie's a very weak charactor. He's not too weak, though.
Charlie's style
Charlie is a mainly defensive charactor(even though I don't have the
patience to play him that way) who requires the opponent to make mistakes
to win. He also should try to stay charged most of the time(holding back
or down back so he can do a sonic boomb and/or SSS)
------------------------------------------------------------------
A word about
Combos
there are two types of combos in this game. there are two in ones and
links. When I say two in one I mean that you can go from a move into
either the somersault shell(if crouching) or the sonic boomb right away.
A link(for this faq) simply means go from one move to another.
This faq was made for the saturn version. This stuff probably applies to
other versions too though. Just though I'd let you know.
light punch=lp
light kick=lk
medium punch=mp
etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------
moves
LP
crouching Two in one
You can also link into other moves quite easily with this. Good ground
attack
Standing Two in one
you can link into this quite easily. Doesn't hit crouching opponents.
Jumping
Rarely use this move.
MP
Standing two in one
good for countering jump ins. It is IMO his best air counter, not
counting the LKSSS.
Crouching two in one
this is a two in one, just like the lp version, but it's harder to do.
Jumping
normal jumping move
HP
Standing
This is a good move to use becaus you can hold back(charging) and press
this move so you won't be going back. It doesn't hit crouching opponents
though.
Crouching
This is supposed to be used for air defense(I think) but I don't like this
move as it doesn't seem to connect that well. I like the standing mp much
better.
Jumping
this is a pretty good jump in move. this is one of my three main jump in
moves.
LK
standing two in one
Easy to link and two in one. You can also do alot of these(like the LP) so
you won't be moving back if you're charging.
crouching two in one
Pretty much the same as the crouching LP.
Jumping
rarely used.
MK
standing Two in one
Doesn't hit crouching opponents. Pretty good for countering jump ins
crouching
Normal crouching move. Nothing esspecially good or bad about it.
jumping
I use this move for jumping in quite a bit. Pretty good. Especially if
you're far away from the opponent when jumping in or trying to cross them
up. It's also pretty good if the opponent trys to jump in on you.
HK
Standing
good for countering air moves. Also, it keeps you from moving back when
charging, which can help you a bit. I like the HP version alot better for
that purpose, though.
Crouching
A good move because it knocks the opponent down. After they're knocked
down you can run away or charge in the down back position.
Jumping
good when jumping in.
special moves
there are five types of special moves in SFA2. There are sure killing
techniques that take off power even when blocked, throws, normal special
moves, supercombos and alpha counters. Each one of these will get a mini
section.
Sure killing techniques
Sonic boomb Hold back for two seconds, then forward and punch
A VERY useful move for charlie. It makes them jump in, allowing you to
counter, charges up your super meter, has VERY LITTLE recovery time and is
very important to Charlie's offensive game. The LP and MP versions are
slower than the HP's, which can be a good thing. It also can be good to
mix up versions.
SomerSault Shell Hold down for two seconds, then up and kick
The lk versions good for countering air moves
The mk versions good for countering opponents when they walk towards you or
you think they are going to stick out an attack.
The hk versions great in custom combos.
Throws
forward or back and MP or HP
My main throw. It seems to have good range
Forward or back and MK or HK
I rarely use this move. There's nothing wrong with it though. It will do
more damage if you mash on the buttons while doing it. If your opponent
does the same, it will do less damage. You can follow it up with a
crossup.
air throw- forward and back and then MP
good when you're in the air and the opponent is also in the air and close
to you.
You can tec out of a throw. You do that by pressing the same throw buttons
at the same time. Also, for ex.,if you press both f+MK+MP, I think that
you can tech out of both throws.
Normal moves
Super punch Forward and HP
It has more range than the normal punch. It can be good if an opponent was
trying to cross you up and was way off. It can also be used to help you
charge up. I mainly use this move by accident if I missed a sonic boomb
attempt.
Super kick forward and back and HK
This move is pretty good because it helps you charge up while it's coming
out. If it misses, though, it can be easily countered. I think it's
completely uncounterable if blocked, though.
Jump in kick forward or back and MK
This is Completely unblockable if the opponent is crouching and helps you
charge up by holding back or down back. But if the opponent was standing
and he/she blocked, it can be easily countered.
Super combos
I never use Super combos. I save the meter for the occasional AC and
customs. I also have a hard time making them come out.
Charge back, then f,b,f+1-3punches
" kicks
Charge down back, then down forward then down back then up forward and 1-3
kicks
Alpha counters
I don't like Charlie's punch AC
His kick Ac is good for stopping customs. It also leaves you in a good
position to try to go for a cross up if you'd like.
At times it's possible to counter AC's. Charlies are no different. I
still find them useful though. Also, you can counter with other things if
you want to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
combos
I already mentioned alot of combos with drill kicks and links. Here are
some tips on useing them and some customs. If you want to learn many more
combos, get the strategy guide from versus books.
Tips on using two in ones
There are 2 ways to do two in ones that I know of(for Charlie). His combos
are relatively easy to do anyway.
1 way is to do the attack while charging(usually before the attack) and
then do the special move.
You can do an attack by pressing a button or releasing it. So an ex. of
this would be to use method one but activate the sonic boomb for ex. by
releasing the jab button right after a jab.
Customs
Charlie's customs are IMO, his saving grace. But before I tell you them,
I'll give you some tips on using them.
The idea of a custom is to juggle your opponent in the air since
they(customs) usually do more damage when they're juggled. Also normal
attacks usually do weak damage in a custom. In a custom they should be
used as a setup to get the person in the air(low hk is great for this) and
then follow up with special moves. or to stick out a quick move to get the
combo started. Customs also have very good invulnerability. So, if you
want to, you can use them to go through attacks like fireballs or use them
when you're jumping in to go through dragon punches. I'm pretty sure that
the customs automatically lose their invulnerabilty when you attack,
though. Also, level one customs seem to be more damaging per move than
levels two and three. Whenever someone misses an attack with a long
recovery, such as dragon punches, and you're in range, use a custom.
Charlie's main custom
Do a low hk, then follow up with hk sss.
levels two and three allow you to get one more sss in. It might be a good
idea to use mk sss at higher levels(not level one) since they allow you to
get more hits in but it's also harder to juggle with them.
There are lots of variations on this. If you think that that the opponents
going to crouch in anticipation, you can do the jump in kick and then
follow up with this combo, if you're skilled enough(this combo's hard to
do, but, it can combo, if you're good.) You could also stick out a fast
move so that the opponent won't have as much time to block, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
some tips
Charging
You can charge by holding back before the match starts
You can charge when you've just been hit down on the ground.
You can charge when the opponents been knocked down.
You can press down-back to charge. This has it's advantages since it keeps
you from moving back(I think Charlies better as a semiclose to midrange
fighter)and it charges both of his moves at the same time.
Don't get too predictable
If you have the patience(I don't) try to play Charlie defensively
Charlies not at as much of a disadvantage in the corner so don't worry
about that as much
Don't jump in too much
Never forget about Charlies customs
Don't waste the meter. It's better to have the meter on max for a long
time than waste it and be left with nothing, so it's not there when you
need it. That doesn't mean don't go for customs offensively or in
desperation, though.
Don't get too predictable
If your opponent starts blocking alot, don't forget about throwing. You
can also throw if you're not charged up to do a combo or if you're not good
at combos
You can stop moving forward in a custom if you press down.
It might be a good idea to trade hits for more damage
Try to get the opponent into the corner and keep on the pressure.
You can throw an opponent or low roundhouse after a close sonic boomb.
Low jabs are good for reversing cheaps
------------------------------------------------------
versus
I'm giving a threat level next to the charactors name. The higher the
number, the easier the fight.
5-even fight
4.5,5.5-slight advantage
4,6-significant advantage
4.5,6.5-major advantage
7,3-dominating advantage
Adon 4
You can counter his jaguar kicks with a jab combo. Low strongs are good
against his ground attacks. Remember your customs and watch out for his.
Akuma 4.25
Use jumping MK and HP's when he jumps or does his jumping fireball. He's
very close to Ryu in this match. Just watch out for his extra moves.
Birdie 5
At first, throw Sonic boombs, but when he has his super charged, stop,
because of that super combo(you know which one I'm talking about). You can
jump back or strait up to get out of his throws.
MBison 5
Let him come to you. If he double knee presses, you can counter it with a
jab two in one sonic boomb combo. You can counter his head presses by
blocking and jumping up with a HP. Remember Charlies a defensive
charactor, not an aggressor.
Charlie
You should know about his stregnths and weaknesses by now.
Chun li 4
Be very defensive in this match. She'll kill you if you aren't. Watch out
for customs. If she tries to cheap you, remember that you can custom or
low strong. Don't jump in too much unless she threw a fireball or you
anticipate a fireball. It might also be a good idea to jump in, push
custom to blow through an attack, wait till you're on the ground and then
do a custom combo.
Dan 5.75
Charlies advantage increases if the Dan you're playing likes to taunt alot,
but I didn't include that because it's not Dan's fault if the person you're
playing gives you free hits. Throw alot of Sonic boombs. You want to keep
him away so it might be a good idea to Alpha counter(punch or kick) to
maintain distance.
Dhalsim 3.5
Prepare to die. Don't Sonic boomb too often as he can trade hits with his
low fierce. LP's are good for hitting his limbs, especially crouching
ones. Forward SSS are good for countering low attacks. Punish him if he
tries the HK slide. Dhalsim has a weak air defense against customs, so it
may be a good idea to jump in with a custom. But if you're playing
against a good Dhalsim, he'll teleport away. In all, just be glad noone
picks him.
Gen 6.5
Charlie actually has an advantage for once. Just keep a distance and throw
alot of Sonic boombs.
Guy 5.5
Don't Sonic boomb too much(they're useful when he runs in on you, though).
You can forward SSS to hit him when he tries to hit you low. Remember
Charlies AC's and customs.
Ken 4
Watch out for customs. Try to maintain some distance in this fight. If he
misses an attack or you block his DP, you can custom.
Ryu 3.5
He has little recovery, making this as hard as the Dhalsim fight. I find
that Ryu is generally better against defensive charactors while Ken's
better against offensive ones(and a hell of alot more fun to play with.)
Watch out for his fireballs as he recovers from them quickly. Try to
reverse his fireballs with your own, if possible, or AC(that's even better)
if you're close enough. If not, and you're not real close to him, just
jump straight up after a fireball, since he can usually dragon punch you
since he recovers so quickly. You may want to try customing to blow
through his dragon punch and then counter. Use this strategy occasionally.
Rose 4
Don't use the Sonic boomb to much as she can reflect/absorb them. Don't
jump in too often because of her annoying super. Watch out for her Custom
Combo like Super too.
Rolento 4.5
This fights not that bad(especially for Charlie's standards). You can
jump straight up over his stingers if he's pressuring you with them. You
can counter some of his jumping moves by jumping up and MK. When close,
throw sonic boombs alot.
Sakura 5.75
Throw lot's of Sonic booms. you can counter her HK hurricane kick(I think
you can counter the LK and MK versions too) with a jab two in one combo.
Sagat 5.25
If he does a low tiger shot while close to you, you can usually trade hits
with a forward sonic boomb. If you think he'll fireball you can jump in,
especially with a custom, and do some damage.
Sodom 5
Keep him away with Sonic boombs. It might be a good idea to play a little
more offensive than usual, to try to take him out of his offensive
game(Sodom is a very offensive charactor) As always don't forget about
customs. Also, you can easily counter his HP scrape if he does it at close
range.
Zangief 5.25
Keep him away. Customs are a good idea against Zangief.

This faq only took me 2hours and 45 minutes to make(Which is still longer
than anticipated). It doesn't take as long as you'd expect to make faqs so

boombs, but when he has his super charged, stop, because of that super =
combo(you know which one I'm talking about). &nbsp;You can jump back or =

you. &nbsp;If he double knee presses, you can counter it with a jab two =

not an aggressor.<br><br>Charlie<br>You should know about his stregnths =
and weaknesses by now.<br><br>Chun li 4<br>Be very defensive in this =
match. &nbsp;She'll kill you if you aren't. &nbsp;Watch out for customs. =
&nbsp;If she tries to cheap you, remember that you can custom or low =
strong. &nbsp;Don't jump in too much unless she threw a fireball or you =
anticipate a fireball. &nbsp;It might also be a good idea to jump in, =
push custom to blow through an attack, wait till you're on the ground =
and then do a custom combo.<br><br>Dan 5.75<br>Charlies advantage =
increases if the Dan you're playing likes to taunt alot, but I didn't =
include that because it's not Dan's fault if the person you're playing =
gives you free hits. &nbsp;Throw alot of Sonic boombs. &nbsp;You want to =
keep him away so it might be a good idea to Alpha counter(punch or kick) =
to maintain distance.<br><br>Dhalsim <font size=3D1>3<font =

countering low attacks. &nbsp;Punish him if he tries the HK slide. =
&nbsp;Dhalsim has a weak air defense against customs, so it may be a =
good idea to jump in with a custom. &nbsp;&nbsp;But if you're playing =
against a good Dhalsim, he'll teleport away. &nbsp;In all, just be glad =

once. &nbsp;Just keep a distance and throw alot of Sonic =
boombs.<br><br>Guy &nbsp;5.5<br>Don't Sonic boomb too much(they're =

him when he tries to hit you low. &nbsp;Remember Charlies AC's and =
customs.<br><br>Ken 4<br>Watch out for customs. &nbsp;Try to maintain =
some distance in this fight. &nbsp;If he misses an attack or you block =
his DP, you can custom. <br><br>Ryu 3.5<br>He has little recovery, =
making this as hard as the Dhalsim fight. &nbsp;I find that Ryu is =
generally better against defensive charactors while Ken's better against =
offensive ones(and a hell of alot more fun to play with.) &nbsp;Watch =
out for his fireballs as he recovers from them quickly. &nbsp;Try to =
reverse his fireballs with your own, if possible, or AC(that's even =
better) if you're close enough. &nbsp;If not, and you're not real close =
to him, just jump straight up after a fireball, since he can usually =
dragon punch you since he recovers so quickly. &nbsp;You may want to try =
customing to blow through his dragon punch and then counter. &nbsp;Use =
this strategy occasionally.<br><br>Rose 4<br>Don't use the Sonic boomb =
to much as she can reflect/absorb them. &nbsp;Don't jump in too often =
because of her annoying super. &nbsp;Watch out for her Custom Combo like =
Super too.<br><br>Rolento 4.5<br>This fights not that bad(especially for =
Charlie's standards). &nbsp;&nbsp;You can jump straight up over his =
stingers if he's pressuring you with them. &nbsp;You can counter some of =
his jumping moves by jumping up and MK. &nbsp;When close, throw sonic =
boombs alot. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Sakura 5.75<br>Throw lot's of =
Sonic booms. &nbsp;you can counter her HK hurricane kick(I think you can =
counter the LK and MK versions too) with a jab two in one =

you, you can usually trade hits with a forward sonic boomb. &nbsp;If you =

some damage.<br><br>Sodom 5<br>Keep him away with Sonic boombs. &nbsp;It =
might be a good idea to play a little more offensive than usual, to try =
to take him out of his offensive game(Sodom is a very offensive =
charactor) &nbsp;As always don't forget about customs. &nbsp;Also, you =

range.<br><br>Zangief 5.25<br>Keep him away. &nbsp;Customs are a good =
idea against Zangief.<br><font =
